 Short cord, one speaker, great picture |

The first thing to understand about LED TVs is that they are actually LCD TV that are backlit with LEDs. You still aren't going to get true blacks and whites without getting a heavy and power sucking plasma. That being said, the picture is amazing! We've owned several LCDs and plasmas, and this is an outstanding product.
In my house, we don't particulary care for the Auto Motion while watching TV shows. For games and sports, it's great, but it seems almost unnatural while watching some shows. We bought this model because we knew that we weren't going to use the 240 Hz Auto Motion anyway.
I have a few things to point out about this TV though.
First, the power cord is incredibly short (At least the one we received from Amazon Warehouse Deals, it was.). This is a very important thing to know if you are mounting on the wall or above a fireplace that doesn't have a highly mounted power outlet.
Second, there is only one speaker, and it is in the back of the TV. This isn't particularly a problem for us because we use an A/V receiver, but don't expect the TV's audio to sound good on its own. Another thing concerning audio, is that it does not have Audio Out so that you can plug your components (DirectTV, XBOX, Blue Ray, Computer...) into the TV and have the audio be sent out to a stereo.
BE PREPARED TO BUY AN A/V RECEIVER.

| Had to recently return my 50" Samsung plasma TV (PN50B860). Although the quality of the plasma TV was breathtaking the excessive buzzing was a deal breaker. This TV is bigger (by 5"), lighter (by 10 lbs), cooler (plasma got burning hot), quieter (zero noise) and more energy efficient (40% more efficient than LCD which are already more efficient than plasmas). Again the quality of the LED is not as superb as the plasma but it is still fantastic (black levels are actually blacker in a lit room). VERY happy with my purchase, would recommend to anyone. |
AMAZING.... sometimes. Love- Hate

What's great about it: Light Weight, Looks Stunning, Great Features
What's not so great: Off angle viewing, dark scene viewing, corners glowing, backlight is not uniform
"I WISH I LOVED THIS TV!
After being a plasma fan for years, I gave an LED-LCD a chance. Set-up was great. Features-a-plenty! Picture quality... AMAZING!!!.... sometimes. I played 'UP' on blu-ray. It blew my mind! Full screen, and bright colors; you will not find a tv with a better image. There is a definate sweet spot for viewing. Which leads me to my first complaint.
-Viewing angle: When your in the sweet spot. It looks great! When your one couch cushion over, you start to loose it. Contrast is lost, and dark images turn into a washed out blueish color. I was used to the viewing angle on my Samsung plasma, and deeply missed it after setting up the LED.
- Low Light: This is a Great TV for daytime viewing. Colors stand out. At night, in a dark room? Not so much. You start to notice that the blacks are not as black as they were during the day. Also, you will notice the corners of the screen starting to light up with a bluish tinge. Extremely distracting especially when watching a movie or show with a 1.85 or 2.4 aspect ratio.
-Backlight uniformity: What uniformity? In a very dark scene, you will really start to notice hot spots and cold spots when it comes to backlight. On an all black screen, it looks like black and blue camo. I even noticed Hot Spots during the olypics in very white areas. Again, distracting. This is most likely due to the side lighting as opposed to the full array lighting.
OVERVIEW! When you find that sweet spot, and play somthing full screen or with a native 16X9 resolution, the picture will blow your mind. But when you stand up, walk around, watch in a dark room, or watch movies that are matted on top and bottom? You will really start to notice a dissapointing amount of distracting problems.
I wish I didn't have to return it, but unfortunately I am going back to plasma." |

This is an awesome TV despite some of the negative comments you may read. I have to mention that Amazon offers quality products, same as your local store (Best Buy, Sears, etc.) but at much more cheaper prices. Their service is excellent, super fast shipping and no surprises as far as the product condition and/or description, you can rest assure that you get right original product every time.
Back to the TV, looks beautiful On or Off. The contrast ratio is AMAZING, super blacks and pure whites, the quality of the image is superb! Just make sure you have HD content available to really appreciate the picture quality. No problems so far with corner light issues, you will have to be extremely picky and force yourself to find this type of issue. Samsung has the best design in the market, so thin, lightweight and energy efficient, it produces NO heat whatsoever.
Perhaps the only negative is the speaker sound, it's not great but good enough for regular TV programming. However, this is not a problem to me, I have always used a home theatre system for music concerts or movies with all the TV's I have owned.
The 120Hz motion effect is very cool; it may not work with all types of programming but for nature or sport events is pretty neat! The good thing about it is that you decide when to turn it on or off or how much of it you want.
I will definitely recommend this TV.

| Great tv. Have had it about a month and watch ten times more tv than I use to just because it looks so good; watched football in HD on my old plasma (purchased 3 years ago) and was shocked at how much better the quality is on this tv. Very glad I spent the extra money. Highly recommended. |
